Officers with the Milford Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division are asking the public's assistance in locating a convicted sex offender who has apparently moved without notifying authorities of his new address.

Gerald L. Sheppard, 46, is considered a Tier II, or moderate risk, offender, who was convicted in 1998 of third-degree unlawful sexual intercourse. His last known address was in the 400 block of South Walnut Street, Milford.
